Northern Editions

19 years of indigenous fine art prints

13th September - 6th October 2012

Northern Editionswas founded in 1993 as Northern Territory University Print Workshop and renamed Northern Editions in 1997. They are situated on the grounds of Charles Darwin University in Darwin and have been collaborating with individual artists and aboriginal art centres to produce and exhibit etchings, woodblocks, screenprints, lithographs and linocuts for the last 19 years. Since its inception, the studio has worked with more than 200 artists, the majority from remote indigenous communities from the east Kimberley region of Western Australia throughout the Northern Territory to north west Queensland.

We have been keen to show works from Northern Editions since seeing a collection of striking etchings decorating the walls of Parliament House Canberra a few years ago. This exhibition is anintroduction to this fine print workshop and includes works by some of Australia’s finest indigenous artists.

The prints are unframed and can be viewed on request. Additional copies are available of some of the sold prints.
